Re: Body Shims
Ford used frame welt, wood body blocks, and various sizes of rubber pads to prevent fretting and associated noise between the body, aprons, and frame. Putting metal shims in there will work for alignment but I think I would want then to be at least the same size as the rubber pad or a person could just use more rubber pads.
If it takes a lot of shims to correct things then the frame or body is likely bent somewhere.
